Heavy Rescue: 401 - Netflix

Editor

Spanning the Greater Toronto Area and southern Ontario, HEAVY RESCUE:
401 follows multiple major tow operators, rescue, and maintenance
crews day and night along North America's most intense stretch of
highway. From Sarnia eastbound to Toronto and north to Barrie, the cast
of heroes work diligently to keep Canada's most important and busiest
series of highways open through any weather condition. From monster snow
storms creating kilometers of mayhem to trucks spilling their loads,
these efforts safeguard the country's most important trade route with
the U.S. from grinding to a crippling halt through the worst of the
winter driving season.

Heavy Rescue: 401 - Atlas V - Netflix

Atlas V ( “V” is pronounced “Five”) is an expendable launch system in
the Atlas rocket family. It was formerly operated by Lockheed Martin and
is now operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture with
Boeing. Each Atlas V rocket uses a Russian-built RD-180 engine burning
kerosene and liquid oxygen to power its first stage and an
American-built RL10 engine burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to
power its Centaur upper stage. The RD-180 engines are provided by RD
Amross, while Aerojet Rocketdyne provides both the RL10 engines and the
strap-on boosters used in some configurations. The standard payload
fairing sizes are 4 or 5 meters in diameter and of various lengths.
Fairings sizes as large as 7.2 m in diameter and up to 32.3 m in length
have been considered. The rocket is assembled in Decatur, Alabama and
Harlingen, Texas.

Heavy Rescue: 401 - Centaur upper stage - Netflix

The Centaur upper stage uses a pressure-stabilized propellant-tank
design and cryogenic propellants. The Centaur stage for Atlas V is
stretched 5.5 ft (1.68 m) relative to the Atlas IIAS Centaur and is
powered by either one or two Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10A-4-2 engines, each
engine developing a thrust of 99.2 kN (22,300 lbf). The inertial
navigation unit (INU) located on the Centaur provides guidance and
navigation for both the Atlas and Centaur and controls both Atlas and
Centaur tank pressures and propellant use. The Centaur engines are
capable of multiple in-space starts, making possible insertion into low
Earth parking orbit, followed by a coast period and then insertion into
GTO. A subsequent third burn following a multi-hour coast can permit
direct injection of payloads into geostationary orbit. As of 2006, the
Centaur vehicle had the highest proportion of burnable propellant
relative to total mass of any modern hydrogen upper stage and hence can
deliver substantial payloads to a high-energy state.
